- The Okanagan people, also spelled Okanogan, are a First Nations and Native American people whose traditional territory spans the U.S. -Canada boundary in Washington state and British Columbia. Known in their own language as the Syilx, they are part of the Interior Salish ethnological and linguistic groupings, the Okanagan are closely related to the Spokan, Sinixt, Nez Perce, Pend Oreille, Shuswap and Nlaka'pamux peoples in the same region. When the Oregon Treaty partitioned the Pacific Northwest in 1846, the portion of the tribe remaining in what became Washington Territory reorganized under Chief Tonasket as a separate group from the majority of the Okanagans, whose communities remain in Canada. The Okanagan Tribal Alliance, however, also incorporates the American branch of the Okanagans, who are part of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville, a multi-tribal government in Washington state. The bounds of Okanagan territory are roughly the basin of Okanagan Lake and the Okanagan River, plus the basin of the Similkameen River to the west of the Okanagan valley, and some of the uppermost valley of the Nicola River. The various Okanagan communities in British Columbia and Washington form the Okanagan Nation Alliance, a border-spanning organization which includes American-side Okanogans resident in the Colville Indian Reservation, where the Okanagan people are sometimes known as Colvilles. A group of Okanagan people in the Nicola Valley, which is at the northwestern perimeter of Okanagan territory, are known in their dialect as the Spaxomin, and are joint members in a historic alliance with neighbouring communities of the Nlaka'pamux in the region known as the Nicola Country, which is named after the 19th Century chief who founded the alliance, Nicola. This alliance today is manifested in the Nicola Tribal Association.
- Die Okanagan, Okanogan oder Okanagan People sind eine der kanadischen First Nations in der Provinz British Columbia und gleichzeitig gehören sie im Bundesstaat Washington zu den US-amerikanischen Native Americans. In ihrer eigenen Sprache heißen sie Syilx. Sie zählen zu den Binnen-Salish und sind damit nahe Verwandte der Spokan, Sinixt, Nez Perce, Pend d'Oreille, Shuswap und der Nlaka'pamux, vor allem aber der Sinkaietk, ihren nächsten Verwandten auf der Südseite der Grenze zwischen Kanada und den USA. Das traditionelle Gebiet erstreckte sich vom Okanagan Lake und dem Okanagan River über das Becken des Similkameen River westwärts bis ins Okanagan-Tal. Dazu kamen einige Täler am Nicola River, ein Name, der auf den Häuptling Nicola zurückgeht, der im 19. Jahrhundert eine Allianz zwischen Spaxomin und Nlaka'pamux schuf. Zahlreiche Gruppen bilden heute die Okanagan Nation Alliance, eine grenzüberschreitende Allianz, zu der in den USA die Colville gehören, wo die Okanagans gelegentlich als Colvilles bezeichnet werden. Doch die Nicola-Gruppe bildet bis heute die Nicola Tribal Association.
